3.0

This is probably a very unpopular opinion, but I sadly did not fall head over heels for Eleanor Oliphant. I thought it was a beautifully written book with humor and topics that need to be discussed, but I felt that it was very drawn out and slow In many places. I found myself having to force myself to keep reading which is not something I typically experience. There were points in the book that made it worth the read but Eleanor Oliphant was not totally for me. It was a great read that analyzes the complexities of social interactions and human relationships along with adding in the humorous commentary of Eleanor, a socially awkward woman. I still will recommend this book to those who enjoy literary fiction but it may not be for everyone depending on your enjoyment of slow burn books.
